Could someone please help me with a link to some step by step instructions?
Download the 2.1.1 zip, connect your KT to your computer, and unzip the zip into the .kobo folder inside the KT. Then eject the KT and disconnect it. It will restart and update itself for you.

That means, the 2.1.1 zip will contain KoboRoot.tgz, manifest.md5sum, and the "upgrade" folder. All three go next to everything that already is in the .kobo folder.

Note: if you're on a Mac, the .kobo folder will be hidden. You can open it by selecting the "Go" menu from the finder, then "Go to folder..." near the bottom of the menu. Type "/Volumes/KOBOeReader/.kobo" into the field you get and hit "Go".
